 |
||
The tour has been designed for guests who have already seen the famous attractions and beauties of Rome and are looking for a truly wonderful and exceptional excursion.
From Civitavecchia or Rome, after approx. 1 hour driving through beautiful surrounding valleys you will arrive to Tuscania. is a very old town whose origins can be traced back to the Bronze Age. A significant stability of human settlements dates back to the Etruscan period, as witnessed by the numerous necropolis in this area. Etruscans and their ancient history (IV-V sec.a.C.) made Tuscania a powerful city thanks to the creation of a compact road network.
With the rise of the Roman dominion in central Italy, most of the Etruscan settlements disappeared, but Tuscania resisted as one of the most important cities, thanks to its advanced architectonic development (bath, aqueducts, etc.). After the Etruscan and Roman periods, this area was first depopulated as a result of the Barbarian invasions and then underwent new urbanisation, starting in the eighth century. Over the centuries, some of the most beautiful Italian churches were built in Tuscania.
Take a look at this beautiful view from the Restaurant of "La Torre di Lavello"

The two most important churches represent a temporary architectural passage of the Romanic style: San Pietro, with its remarkable façade, the stunning rose-window and the crypt, and Santa Maria Maggiore, just below San Pietro, with its three finely decorated portals. Today Tuscania, with a population of 8.000, appears in all its splendour to its visitors, with a historical town Center with its characteristic fourth-fifth century architecture, enriched with fifty-two churches and numerous fountains.
On the way to go to Tuscania we an stop at the Tuscia Olive oil Factory to make a taste !
